Round 1 - One-on-one 

(6 Questions)

  • Q1. What is difference between list and tuple?
  • Ans. 

    List is mutable and can be modified, while tuple is immutable and cannot be modified.

    • List is defined using square brackets [], while tuple is defined using parentheses ().

    • Elements in a list can be added, removed, or modified, while elements in a tuple cannot be modified.

    • Lists are typically used for collections of similar items, while tuples are used for collections of different items.

    • Lists have more built-in methods an...

  • Ans. 

    Find second highest salary of employee using Django ORM.

    • Use the Django ORM to query the Employee model

    • Order the employees by salary in descending order

    • Skip the first employee (highest salary) and get the second employee (second highest salary)

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Find no of occurance in list output in dict
  • Ans. 

    The question asks to find the number of occurrences of each element in a list and output the result in a dictionary.

    • Iterate through the list and use a dictionary to keep track of the count of each element.

    • If an element is already in the dictionary, increment its count by 1. Otherwise, add it to the dictionary with a count of 1.

    • Finally, return the dictionary with the counts of each element.

  • Q4. What is django middleware?
  • Ans. 

    Django middleware is a component that sits between the web server and the view, allowing for processing of requests and responses.

    • Middleware is a way to modify or process requests and responses globally in a Django application.

    • It can be used for authentication, session management, caching, logging, and more.

    • Middleware classes are defined in settings.py and executed in order.

    • Examples of middleware include Authentication...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is decorator?
  • Ans. 

    A decorator is a design pattern that allows behavior to be added to an individual object dynamically.

    • Decorators enhance the functionality of an object without modifying its structure.

    • They provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.

    • Decorators can be stacked to add multiple behaviors to an object.

    • Examples of decorators include logging, caching, and authentication decorators.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. What is generator?
  • Ans. 

    A generator is a function that can be paused and resumed, allowing it to produce a sequence of values over time.

    • Generators are defined using the function* syntax in JavaScript.

    • They use the yield keyword to pause execution and return a value.

    • Generators can be iterated over using a for...of loop.

    • They are useful for generating infinite sequences or lazily computing values.

Myntra had conducted a coding test on campus before the start of the placement season with 2 questions, one on stack and other on DP.
Tips : For the test, the DP question asked was pretty standard, on Longest Common Subsequence. The question on stacks, I don't remember what it was but it was also pretty straight forward. For the test, I would recommend to solve problem from GFG. If they do come to resume shortlisting, they are looking for people who have done good projects and internships.

The interview started off with questions on my general interest in Software Development. The first round had two coding questions, I was supposed to write the code on paper. 
For the questions, they asked me to code the solution first. And then gave a specific input and asked me to demonstrate step by step in my code, how it would lead to the correct answer.
Tips: It's ok if you can't code a general solution, if you can write a code which works for the particular input they have given then also it's ok with them. But be thorough with Data structures.

I wasn't asked to write any code in this interview. They asked me some questions on Machine Learning, because of my projects in them. Then they asked me if I knew graph algorithms. Since I knew BFS and DFS, I told them. They asked the difference between the two. Then they asked me if I knew how to find the shortest distance between two points in a graph. I didn't know Dijkstra's properly but I knew it worked on the greedy approach so was able to tell that. Then they asked me how would I find the second shortest path. I tried to answer it with the same greedy approach, but couldn't arrive at the complete solution.
Tips: They ask a tough theoretical question. It's ok if you don't know the answer, they only look for your approach.

    • Start traversal from vertex 0 and explore its neighbors first

    • Continue exploring neighbors level by level until all nodes are visited

    • Ensure to print connected nodes in numerical sort order

    DFS Traversal Problem Statement

    Given an undirected and disconnected graph G(V, E), where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges, the connections between vertices are provided in the 'GR...

  • Ans. 

    DFS traversal to find connected components in an undirected and disconnected graph.

    • Perform DFS traversal on each vertex to find connected components

    • Maintain a visited array to keep track of visited vertices

    Dijkstra's Shortest Path Problem

    Given an undirected graph with ‘V’ vertices (labeled 0, 1, ... , V-1) and ‘E’ edges, where each edge has a weight representing the distance between two connected nodes (X,...

  • Ans. 

    Dijkstra's algorithm is used to find the shortest path from a source node to all other nodes in a graph with weighted edges.

    • Implement Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path distances from the source node to all other nodes in the graph.

    • Use a priority queue to efficiently select the next node with the shortest distance.

    • Update the distances of neighboring nodes based on the current node's distance and edge weight...

Interview Questionnaire 

10 Questions

  • Q1. Change Binary tree so that parent node is the sum of root nodes
  • Ans. 

    Change binary tree to make parent node the sum of root nodes

    • Traverse the tree in post-order

    • For each node, update its value to the sum of its children

    • Return the updated root node

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Reverse a linkedlist ?
  • Ans. 

    Reverse a linkedlist by changing the direction of pointers.

    • Iterate through the linkedlist and change the direction of pointers.

    • Keep track of previous, current and next nodes.

    • Set the next pointer of current node to previous node.

    • Move to next node and repeat until end of list is reached.

  • Q3. Given an array of +ve and -ve numbers , have to rearrange them ( like +ve numbers to left and -ve numbers to right of the array)
  • Ans. 

    Rearrange an array of positive and negative numbers with positive numbers on the left and negative numbers on the right.

    • Create two empty arrays, one for positive numbers and one for negative numbers

    • Loop through the original array and add positive numbers to the positive array and negative numbers to the negative array

    • Concatenate the positive and negative arrays to create the rearranged array

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Singleton pattern, observer pattern?
  • Q5. String pool and how garbage collection functionality works?
  • Ans. 

    String pool is a cache of string literals in memory. Garbage collection frees up memory by removing unused objects.

    • String pool is a cache of string literals in memory

    • Strings are immutable and can be shared among multiple objects

    • Garbage collection removes unused objects to free up memory

    • String objects that are no longer referenced are eligible for garbage collection

  • Q6. HashMap , how can you synchronize ?
  • Q7. Process vs Thread differences and synchronization,deadlock examples?
  • Ans. 

    Process vs Thread differences and synchronization, deadlock examples

    • Process is an instance of a program while thread is a subset of a process

    • Processes are independent while threads share the same memory space

    • Synchronization is used to coordinate access to shared resources

    • Deadlock occurs when two or more threads are blocked waiting for each other to release resources

    • Examples of synchronization include mutex, semaphore, ...
